Chapter 320: Coming Back Again
Xu Zhisen now faced two choices: either continue to complete the Frankfurt project or sell the project immediately.
Although he consulted several experts, they all predicted that given the current economic situation, this cold winter period would not last long.
But without more capital injection, he could not hold on for so long. This is why he sold the project to Lin Hao and was prepared to cheat Lin Hao again.
What he didn't expect was that the situation would reverse so quickly.
What he didn't expect was that after receiving the news, many developers immediately launched various promotional activities, which were disguised price cuts.
This has resulted in potential customers who were originally attracted by the style of Frankfurt turning around and buying other people's houses. Their pre-sales have become increasingly fewer, making their funds even more scarce.
the other side!
After Lin Hao returned to the company, he immediately convened several companies in the real estate service chain to arrange the next work.
The reason why Lin Hao spread the news of the real estate winter was not only to deal with Xu Zhisen, but also out of consideration for his own interests.
First of all, the houses in Blue Sky Century City have basically been sold, so it will not harm me to release this news.
Secondly, it can further enhance the reputation of the real estate service chain because the various decoration plans they provide are tens of thousands cheaper than those of ordinary decoration companies.
By inviting Lin Hao's service chain to join them, real estate developers can improve the competitiveness of their houses without lowering prices.
Especially now, everyone is racing against time and hopes to clear their houses as soon as possible before the policy is announced.
Originally, these tasks could be handed over to others, but Yang Xiaoyun is still breastfeeding, Mile is about to give birth, and Fang Lingshan is already pregnant.
There was no other way, Lin Hao could only do their work himself, and at the same time find suitable people to take over their work!
For the next week, Lin Hao's work went smoothly, but Xu Zhisen's face was full of worry.
He finally found the Xintai Company in Hong Kong, but they already had their own project, which was the Site No. 6 that Lin Hao sold to them in a package.
Therefore, Xintai Company is not very interested in this project.
Moreover, their houses have almost been sold out, and they have also received news about the real estate winter, so they will naturally not fall into the trap easily.
Of course, it’s not that these real estate companies are not interested, but the price is not right.
Each real estate company has its own analytical experts and its own predictions for the future situation. Moreover, it is the capital of a country, so they are still very confident about the future prospects of real estate.
However, when Xu Zhisen's offer was reduced from 10 billion, 9.5 million, 9 million, and finally to 8.5 million, someone finally became interested!
The company that was interested was none other than Hong Kong Xintai Company, but Xintai's offer was 7.5 million.
"Mr. Ye, this price is too low. Although there will be a period of cold winter in the future, there will eventually be spring when the flowers bloom."
"At worst, I can just continue working on this project and wait until the market picks up before selling it!"
However, Xintai’s CEO Ye Yingxiong said:
"Old Xu, there's no outsider here, so I'll just say something! Do you have enough funds to hold on until spring?"
Xu Zhisen, who was about to say something, hesitated!
In fact, the price given by Xintai is profitable. The total investment in Frankfurt is less than 4.1 million. Excluding the million for the land, the profit is almost more than million.
He also knew that the reason why Xintai was willing to acquire this project was not only because they had just completed a project and had sufficient funds to continue investing, but also to build their reputation.
Thinking he had grasped the weakness of the mentality, Xu Zhisen said:
"Boss, let me think about it. If I sell it at 7.5 million, I will barely make any profit!"
Then Xu Zhisen said with a righteous look as if someone had cut off his flesh:
"How about this! Mr. Ye only needs to pay 8 million, and I will immediately transfer the Frankfurt project to Xintai!"
To his surprise, Ye Yingxiong just smiled faintly and said:
"It's okay, Mr. Xu. Even though we may not be able to make a deal, we still have friendship. Let's work together again next time we have a chance!"
After saying that, Ye Yingxiong left directly, not even bothering to bargain with Xu Zhisen!
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye!" Xu Zhisen watched Ye Yingxiong leave helplessly.
But Xu Zhisen soon regretted his decision. In the following period, several other real estate developers he contacted offered lower prices, mostly in the range of 7 million to 8 million yuan.
However, this is not the end. The central bank soon issued Document 121 to strictly control real estate developer loans, land reserve loans, personal housing loans, etc.
The company also introduced measures to increase down payments and interest rates on second home loans.
With the release of this 121 document, the national real estate industry entered a cold winter, and the soaring housing prices fell sharply!
In fact, the document should have been published one month later, and the news that Xu Zhisen and others obtained through their own channels should also have been obtained at this time.
However, for some reason, ahem, someone thinks this is normal, it's the butterfly effect!
However, it was this document from the central bank that immediately disrupted the planning and layout of these real estate developers.
For example, Xu Zhisen at this moment is regretting his decision so much that his intestines are turning green. He failed to sell Frankfurt at the package price of 6.5 million, and now no one is paying attention to his offer of million!
Their original offer was 7.5 million. The profit was clearly right in front of us, but we didn't seize the opportunity.
Just when the real estate industry was wailing and Xu Zhisen was full of despair, Lin Hao appeared like a savior!
However, Lin Hao's offer was as cold as ice water:
"Mr. Xu should know that 6 million is already a good price. Look at the current situation of the real estate industry. We don't know how long it will last!"
After saying this, Lin Hao was still quite leisurely. He moved the Newton's pendulum on the table. Then the iron balls on the left and right transferred force through the three iron balls in the middle, and the pendulum started to move.
In the quiet office, there was the sound of iron balls hitting each other:
“Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick~!”
The ticking sound was like a countdown, instantly making the quiet office atmosphere even hotter.
Xu Zhisen looked at the iron ball swinging left and right, and his mood became a little anxious. He felt that Lin Hao wanted him to make a choice.
And what choice does he have?
Either sell the Frankfurt project at a loss or stop the loss in time!
Either you continue to operate this project and wait for the cold winter to pass!
However, the price offered by Lin Hao was pushing him to death!
As the force of the iron ball's left and right swing weakened, the amplitude of the iron ball's left and right swing became smaller and smaller, and finally came to a stop.
At this time, Xu Zhisen said with a serious face:
"It's too low. The loss at this price is too great. I can't explain it to the shareholders. 6.5 million is my bottom line. If Mr. Lin still insists on 6 million, I won't sell the Frankfurt project!"
At this time, Xu Zhisen had already decided that at worst he would sell Site No. 5 to continue supporting the Frankfurt project, and then wait for the cold winter to pass, and everything would be fine.
Lin Hao frowned when he heard this, and guessed Xu Zhisen's plan. This obviously did not fit in with Lin Hao's plan, so he said helplessly:
"6 million~!"
Before Lin Hao finished speaking, Xu Zhisen interrupted him immediately:
"6.5 million, not a cent less, this is my final decision. If the price is lower than this, please don't ask Mr. Lin!"
Lin Hao knew that this was Xu Zhisen's last stubbornness, and understood that he would not be able to lower the price any further. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. As the saying goes, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. If Xu Zhisen can hold on, he may be able to turn the tables! So Lin Hao stretched out his right hand and said:
"Happy cooperation!"
Xu Zhisen looked at Lin Hao, and finally stretched out his right hand, reluctantly saying:
"Happy cooperation!"
After Xu Zhisen left, Lin Hao picked up two iron balls, and then used Newton's sway to collide the balls one by one, but only the ball in the middle remained motionless.
Three days later, Lin Hao signed the transfer contract with Xu Zhisen, and then signed a cooperation agreement with Ye Yingxiong of Xintai.
The Frankfurt Style Project will then be jointly launched by the two companies.
Lin Hao's Hesheng invested 3 million yuan, Ye Yingxiong's Xintai invested 3.5 million yuan, and each held half of the shares, but the project was led by Xintai.
Subsequently, after obtaining Lin Hao's consent, the Frankfurt Style Project was renamed Xintai Garden!
Originally, Lin Hao was not planning to get involved in Frankfurt Style, but with the inflow of 2 million in profits from the real estate service chain, the funds in Lin Hao's hands have exceeded 8 million.
The plot of land in Chaoyang West did not require so much money, so he hit it off with Ye Yingxiong of Xintai and joined forces to acquire Frankfurt Style. Unexpectedly, he got a great bargain!
On the other hand, after learning that Frankfurt Style had been sold, Lu Tao went straight to Xu Zhisen’s office!
"Xu Zhisen, have you sold out the Frankfurt style?" Lu Tao shouted, calling him by his name.
"Yes!" Xu Zhisen said helplessly.
"Who did you sell it to?" Lu Tao asked again.
Xu Zhisen stared at Lu Tao and suddenly felt that compared with Lin Hao, Lu Tao was so immature and the gap between the two was so huge.
Then Xu Zhisen shook his head and said:
"Your old classmate Lin Hao, I heard that Ye Yingxiong from Xiangjiang Xintai is also involved!"
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard this. For some reason, he suddenly felt angry. Then he said to Xu Zhisen:
"Why did you sell it to them? Do you know that you sold me the dream I have been working hard for a year? I haven't even seen its complete appearance yet, and there are still many details that have not been perfected!"
Then Lu Tao said disappointedly: "And this project has great potential and a very good future. Are you crazy? You actually sold it like this?"
Seeing that Lu Tao's emotions had stabilized a little, Xu Zhisen encouraged him:
"Lu Tao, you are the one with potential, and you are the one with financial prospects. You are the only one I really care about."
"As long as you are willing, we will create a better project in the future!"
Then Xu Zhisen said easily:
"Besides, the Frankfurt style has become a thing of the past. Now even the name has been changed to Xintai Garden!"
"I think there is no need for you to be angry, and you don't need to care too much about the Frankfurt project, because it's just a business!"
Looking at the irritable Lu Tao, and comparing him with Lin Hao, they are the same age, the same major, and they live in the same dormitory. Why doesn't he have a son like Lin Hao!
But no matter what, Lu Tao is his son, so Xu Zhisen said with emotion:
“Lu Tao, stay calm and collected. Let’s work together. There are still many projects that can continue to make profits!”
For some reason, Lu Tao suddenly thought of Old Ding. He heard the conversation between Xu Zhisen and Old Ding clearly outside the door.
That moment was just like this moment, and the current situation is so similar to the original one. Xu Zhisen sold the project directly without any notice.
And he seems to have become the second Lao Ding!
Then, Lu Tao, feeling indignant, stared at Xu Zhisen with a suspicious look and asked:
"You are taking advantage of me, aren't you? What did you say when you gave Frankfurt Style to me? You said I was in charge of this project and you should do your best to make it a success!"
"And when I have done it, you now tell me that the project is gone and sold to someone else, and you tell me that it is just a business!"
"Isn't it?" Xu Zhisen said as a matter of course.
Lu Tao thought of Lu Yaxun staying up late for several nights in a row to modify the design drawings and rewrite the plan for him, and he suddenly felt disappointed with Xu Zhisen.
Then Lu Tao shook his head somewhat sadly and said:
"Do you know that in order to help me complete this project, Lu Yaxun modified the drawings and found someone to help with the plot ratio, but you sold it in the blink of an eye!"
Then Lu Tao said disappointedly:
"Boss Xu, I am now formally submitting my resignation!"
Seeing Lu Tao's resolute look, Xu Zhisen immediately said:
"Lu Tao, don't be impulsive, just listen to what I have to say!"
"I have no choice but to sell it like this. The time and place have all changed. Everything is unfavorable to us!"
"Also, we used hot money to speculate before, but in fact we were always robbing Peter to pay Paul!"
Lu Tao frowned and asked: "What's going on here?"
Xu Zhisen felt somewhat relieved when he saw that Lu Tao was concerned about the company's situation, so he said:
"The central bank's new document No. 121 is extremely unfavorable to new companies like us. It increases the difficulty for us to obtain loans, and also tightens the second home loans for ordinary people!"
"We don't have much capital of our own. We previously absorbed hot money, acquired land, and then applied for a loan from the bank to build the property!"
I think if I had sold it for 7.5 million yuan, or if I had known it would be million yuan, I would have sold it without hesitation, and I wouldn't be in the predicament I am in now.
So Xu Zhisen said with some regret:
"If the situation hadn't changed, we could have made at least 400 to 500 million yuan. Now we have to sell the project, which has caused the company to lose tens of millions. Fortunately, I made a prompt decision to cash out and stop the loss!"
However, Lu Tao thought of Lu Yaxun and said with mixed feelings:
"What should we do now? Lu Yaxun will definitely be very disappointed. He vowed to carry out this project, and now he has to beg for help!"
Xu Zhisen thought that with Lu Yaxun's help, it would not be difficult for him to rise again, so he comforted him:
"Don't worry, we didn't lose. Did you forget that we still have land number five?"
"The company spent a lot of money to invite industry experts to develop a new strategy for the company! As long as we manage this land well, we still have a chance to turn things around!"
Facing the enthusiastic Xu Zhisen, Lu Tao showed no interest. He had no interest in the so-called rise.
Seeing Lu Tao shaking his head, Xu Zhisen felt something was wrong:
"Lu Tao, I hope you can join me in getting everything back on track!"
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "I'll go back and think about it!"
